One of my all time favorite jams! Every time I hear it my mind goes back to sophomore year of high school smoking and watching this on MTv2 at my best friend's house like it was yesterday...

I was lucky enough to find this white label 12" with an acapella a long time ago. Earlier this year I pulled it out and used the line 'Making music that'll bump for a thousand years', as a chorus to one of my group's songs. When I first played it for a couple of the rappers one of them in particular was so excited to hear Gab's voice. He went on to tell me about his love of this jam and how he remembers bumping it with his friends back in high school as well.

Blackalicious's A to G EP was the first rap album (even though not technically an album) that I fell in love with. I was around 8 years old. It's the album that really got me into music as a whole. Gab is a legend. So is Xcel.

Nice!! For me Wyclef's 'The Carnival' was the first rap album that caught my ear after listening to Weird Al and 90's alt rock for my early middle school years. And I didn't even run into it until I was in 7th grade! So I definitely started out late compared to your 8 years old. My buddy Brian from High Five, has told me that his earliest hip hop memory was when he was 9 years old walking up to the counter at Sam Goody with a copy of The Chronic and Bone's Eternal 1999.
